Epson - Perfection V39 Advanced Flatbed Color Photo Scanner - Black

1. Very lightweight and compact so does not take up a lot of space. 2. Only one cable, USB powered, no need for bulky A/C adapters. 3. It has a built-in kick stand, which allows you to place on table vertically instead of flat. 4. No warm-up time is required, thanks to Epson's ReadyScan LED Technology (from Epson's website). I hadn't used scanners others than the iPhone app for some time so this reminded me the old times when you had to wait 5 minutes for your first scan. 5. Sharp image quality (4800 dpi), adjustable in settings if you need lighter file sizes. (1) and (2) make it a great choice for scanning on the go. I carry it in a small backpack toghether with my Macbook Pro with no hassle. (3) is good for desk real estate optimization Disclaimer: I haven't used it for large whole day scanning sessions but after roughly a hundred pictures scanned it is still working perfectly.

Images are clear and easy to use. I recommend this to any one looking for a scanner

An excellent flat bed scanner. A rarity in the consumer market today

I use this for scanning small drawings and it is a wonder. I spent years doing it the wrong way by relying on my dslr. This relatively small device gives you clarity, and accurate color for a decent price. If you've been eyeing this, don't hesitate on a purchase.

I run 64bit Windows 10 professional or whatever the version is that isn't the Home version on my PC. This scanner scans fast... at 200dpi. If you set it for anything higher it warns you that higher dpi cause larger files and encourages you to choose something smaller. Sorry, my goal with purchasing a new scanner was to get one that could do better than the 600dpi in my all in one printer scanner copier. Choosing a higher dpi (I wanted to scan old photos to share with family members attending a funeral in a few days) results in the computer crashing after every three pictures scanned in. The scans are full of artifacts and thus unusable. The time estimates given for scans... 71 minutes, 38 minutes or whatever are laughably bad. None of the half hearted scans took nearly that long before the scanner decided it was done with the scan. Downloading the software from Epson was the easiest part of using this thing. I'm returning it and running as fast as I can toward a different brand even if it means that friends and family attending the funeral will have to wait for the new scanner to arrive some time next month. I chose this one because it was in stock locally but it was a total waste of my time and efforts. I included the last attempt to get a good scan of a picture of my mother and her sister back in 1963. ALL the scans had a line above which nothing lined up with anything below it. Unacceptable.

This Scanner was a replacement for an older Epson V37 Scanner. I wanted a Scanner that was similar to the V37 and easy to use. Besides a difference in the Menu Buttons as to their function, the V39 is identical. Having used Epson products since 2004 Epson has kept the excellent quality that I expect. I expect to have many years of use with this Scanner.

Excellent quality scans, color, and accuracy. Very lightweight (can be carried around easily) and very easy to connect and setup. The software has a lot of great features for productivity, color correction, etc.

Epson advertises that the ArcSoft Scan-n-Stitch program is included. I have attached a copy Epson's V39 Specs sheet (taken from Epson's website) which explicitly lists Scan-n-Stitch in the "Software Included" section on page 2. Best Buys' product description for the V39 also states ArcSoft Scan-n-Stitch is included. This was a deciding factor in my choice of this particular scanner. But when I went to Epson's website to download the software, it was not there. Epson customer Service was no help. They were unsympathetic and adamant that I was not entitled to it regardless of what their literature says. They told me to take it up with Best Buy. I know Best Buy stands by their products and would let me return it but I feel conned by Epson. For the device itself, I think it is an excellent value, decent quality and not difficult to use.
